wine & internet.

Read. If I am too burnt out to read something new I re-read old novels I love. But I've been a bookworm all my life, and if I don't have an hour to read everyday I go stark raving mad.

This is what we need to do! Good idea.

eh-hem . . sex

Take a walk. Read. Cook. Go out for a drink.

Go for a walk, talk with DH, do yoga, play chess, read a book, play online, talk with a friend, etc.

DCUM/Facebook with a glass of wine.

I'm not great at unwinding. After dinner is made and the baby is in bed, I go to the gym. Then I come home, take a shower, make lunches and go to bed.

Lately I read DCUM at night. But that's because I'm so burnt-out by the end of the day that I don't have the attention span to read a book anymore. I figure when the kids are older, when DH and I are less stressed about work (my deadlines and his furloughs), then I'll go back to reading a book in the evenings.

Read a good book I can lose myself in.

What do you do in the evenings to unwind? We are trying to get away from wasting hours in front of the TV, but I don't quite know how else to unwind and relax in the evening. Thanks.
